d6 Spell Calculator?

[Rerun941]

Anyone know of an Excel spreadsheet or other program to help with spell creation for d6 Fantasy?

If not, I may have found another project to add to my growing list. :)

the website had a java based one that worked pretty well... don't know if eric still has it or not.

YAY! I knew someone would come through. Does this script need to be rescued or archived somewhere? Maybe glitzed up a little? *shrug*

Cool. Very useful.

Here's one I tried. Obviously the upper limits of the application do not meet the requirements to wrieup this spell, but here's my attempt:

Name: Dragon Slave
Skill: conjuration
Difficulty: 45
Effect: 30 (Massive Blast/10D physical damage)
Range: 100 meters (+10)
Speed: instantaneous (+10)
Casting Time: 1 minute (-9)
Duration: 1 second (+0)
Other Aspects:
Area Effect (+50): 10-meter radius circle
Concentration (-3): 1 minute with minimum concentration difficulty of 9
Feedback (-3): -3 to damage resistance totals
Focused (+6): On target
Gestures (-3): Hand movements to direct and aim the energy (complex)
Incantations (-3): Pledging the caster to the Dark Lord (complex)
Description: A magical tacnuke intended to take out a dragon or other large target. Can also be used against towns or armies.

That's a rather ridiculous difficulty, I must say, for a paltry 10D damage against a dragon. Unless you've got rather wimpy dragons, with no scale modifier, 10D might wound, maybe even knock it into severely wounded, but I doubt it would nuke a dragon outright.

Wonder if you could scale the damage?

Cut the difficulty down or up the damage by removing the AoE. If you up the damage with the same difficulty it would be a 89D+2 damage.

I was stuck within the limits of the generator. I didn't say it was a successful experiment.

Someone suggested not making it area effect. That would be good if it were completely from scratch. However the Dragon Slave is Collateral Damage Personified. For that it needs Area Effect.

I could scale the damage. I probably would scale the damage if this was anything more than an experiment. The difficulty is still going to be beyond the pale for most PC magic-users, and the spell itself would be virtually unknown in more "realistic" fantasy campaigns.
